Was there really such a good thing in this world?
Zhou Bao had just wanted to search for the Heaven and Earth Secret Technique, but after arriving at one of the most inconspicuous remains in the Immortal Realm, the Rock Cliff Sect, he encountered the king of Heavenly Fairy Weapons—the legendary Treasure-snatching Rock!
It was exposed above the ruins of the Rock Cliff Sect. Many mighty people had stepped onto these ruins over the years, so why had they failed to discover it?
Could it be possible that it was waiting for him, its destined owner, to fetch it?
That was impossible!
Not by a long shot!
Although he had a good opinion of himself, he did not think that everything in this world belonged to him. This treasure did have a mysterious origin. There were indeed some people with great luck in the Immortal Realm during the previous tribulations, so how could they have missed such an obvious treasure?
Either it was not here before, or this was a plot. At worst, both speculations were possible.
Therefore, noticing that there was a fever of excitement in Wang Shang’s eyes, Zhou Bao thought he was really ridiculous. Did he really think he would be able to acquire the treasure just because he had a clue about it?
This man really belittled his strength!
Wang Shang burst out laughing as if he sensed the change of expression in Zhou Bao’s eyes. He said, “Fellow Taoist Bodhi, don’t drool over the Treasure-snatching Rock. We are not so lucky to be able to attain such a precious and unique treasure!”
“If that’s the case, then why are you so excited?” Zhou Bao froze as he heard Wang Shang’s words. What he meant was very obvious, which was that he did not covet the Treasure-snatching Rock.
“As its name implies, we can snatch the treasures within. Look, there are so many ownerless fairy weapons and we can take as many as we wish. So why wouldn’t I get excited about that?”
“What?” Presently, Zhou Bao was stupefied. Fairy weapons were indeed everywhere in this space and there was more than one floating around him. But could he seize them?
He never expected that he could take the fairy weapons in this space at will. The moment he entered, the Treasure-snatching Rock had robbed him of almost all his fairy weapons. As a result, he feared it a lot. Now, however, Wang Shang told him that he could take the fairy weapons here as he pleased—he certainly did not believe that.
“That’s the characteristic of the Treasure-snatching Rock!” said Wang Shang. “It’s the king of Heavenly Fairy Weapons. Its striking advantage is that it can restore all the magic weapons in this world to their previous condition. So long as there is a defective magic weapon, it will be absorbed and nourished by it and then evolve into the most perfect state. Hey, do you know that this is just its outermost layer? The deeper in we go, the more precious the treasures are. Heavenly Fairy Weapons are everywhere in its core…”
Before Wang Shang had finished speaking, Zhou Bao moved.
After Wang Shang told him the characteristics of the Treasure-snatching Rock, Zhou Bao exerted his full strength without thinking. He raised his hand, and a giant hand that was made of SwordQi appeared out of thin air. In the blink of an eye, it captured the greater part of the fairy weapons in sight and threw them into the Azure Big World.
“As expected, they are not high-grade fairy weapons, but they are flawless and unrestricted!”
Zhou Bao figured out the truth of Wang Shang’s words with a single move. These fairy weapons, both in terms of material quality and function, were impeccable. Besides, he could take whatever he wanted.
“The Innate Qi Catching Skill! Fellow Taoist Bodhi, you’re truly extraordinary given that you have collected so many Taihao Fairy Weapons in one go!” Wang Shang’s face twisted as he saw Zhou Bao’s action. Nonetheless, he showed no sign of discontent because he was not as capable as Zhou Bao, even though the fairy weapons here could be taken at will.
Although Zhou Bao had suddenly taken away most of the fairy weapons, he was unable to take the rest of them.
The reason being that he was merely an Immortal. Though he possessed a micro world, it could only sustain limited pressure. The higher the grade of fairy weapons, the greater the pressure on space. Thus, so many Taihao Fairy Weapons were sufficient to suppress his micro world. Moreover, he aimed for Heavenly Fairy Weapons rather than ordinary Taihao Fairy Weapons. As long as he could secure one Lowest-grade Heavenly Fairy Weapon, he would not have come here in vain.
Evidently, Zhou Bao also lost interest in the Taihao Fairy Weapons here.
“Then, as you wish, let’s see if we can obtain some Heavenly Fairy Weapons!” While speaking, Zhou Bao flew toward the depths of this space.
The depths of the void was still the void!
As they went deeper into the void, the floating fairy weapons became fewer and fewer, but their grades became higher and higher. The original Lower-grade Taihao Fairy Weapons were gradually upgraded and were similar to Medium-grade ones. But that was all. There was not a real Medium-grade Taihao Fairy Weapon in the endless void.
As they went further, Zhou Bao was surprised to find that the fairy weapons were gradually disappearing.
“What’s going on here?”
“Nothing. We just need to track down the entrance to the next space!” Wang Shang’s mind went blank at first, but he soon realized what had happened. “This seems to be the first layer of the Treasure-snatching Rock!”
“The first layer of the Treasure-snatching Rock?” Zhou Bao immediately understood that there had to be several layers in the space of the Treasure-snatching Rock, and the first layer mainly consisted of some Pure Yang Celestial Devices and Lower-grade Taihao Fairy Weapons. If they desired Medium-grade Taihao Fairy Weapons and more precious treasures, they were required to enter the next layer. However, neither he nor Wang Shang knew how to get to the next layer.
“Wait…!” Zhou Bao closed his eyes and sent out a divine thought.
Just now, the Treasure-snatching Rock had grabbed all the fairy weapons he had refined, among which, some were Medium-grade and Upper-grade Taihao Fairy Weapons, especially the Bronze Scepter. It had been evolved into a bamboo stick and nearly became an Upper-grade Taihao Fairy Weapon. Zhou Bao had a strong telepathic connection to it, and even though they were separated by the Space Seal, he could still feel it.
He meditated for a while and then suddenly opened his eyes. “This way!” Then, he flew toward a certain place in the void.
Wang Shang followed him without hesitation.
There was no end in sight. Except for the floating fairy weapons, the scenery was the same everywhere. But now that they had a target, everything became much easier. The two combed the place that Zhou Bao had sensed with their divine thoughts and soon found something strange in this space.
“This should be a passageway. It’s much stronger than the Space Passage that we entered to get here. We cannot pass through it as easily as before!” A touch of seriousness flashed through Wang Shang’s eyes. He sensed that there was a powerful restriction on the entrance to the second layer of the Treasure-snatching Rock’s space. In other words, it was more a complete and impregnable Law of Space than a restriction. There was only a small crack on it, but not everyone could catch it.
“Fellow Taoist Bodhi, look…”
Feeling that he could do nothing facing this crack, Wang Shang turned his eyes to Zhou Bao.
“I can get into it, but…” Under these circumstances, Zhou Bao did not want to bring Wang Shang with him anymore. He did not fear him but just did not want to expose his strength in front of him. Powerful Immortals could enter the crack, but having the strength of an Earthly Immortal was a must if one wanted to bring someone with him because he would have to utilize his macro world.
Therefore, he faced Wang Shang with some hesitation. Right at this moment, the first layer of the Treasure-snatching Rock trembled and a powerful willpower arrived at once.
“This is…!” Zhou Bao’s heart throbbed and he quaked with fear. Wang Shang was in a worse condition. Pale-faced, he looked blank and his eyes were bloodshot.
“Crack, crack…!” Zhou Bao’s bones were completely suppressed by the strong willpower and a burst of shrill noises rang out. He was sure that his body would fall apart in 10 seconds. The body of a powerful Immortal could be shattered by this willpower.
How mighty could this willpower be?
Who the hell possessed such a terrifying power?
Wang Shang was unable to bear the power anymore, but Zhou Bao was no better than him. This willpower firmly locked him and he could not resist it at all.
“Ding!”
Just when Zhou Bao was desperate with fear, a melodious sound resounded from the depths of a remote spacetime and crumbled this willpower in an instant.
“Humph!” Influenced by the sound of the bell, the willpower let out a cold snort and disappeared without a trace.
“Haha, Jade Emperor Sage suffered a small loss this time!” At this point, another two willpowers communicated with each other without making any sound in the Heaven Realm. “Did he believe that he had an opportunity as long as the Treasure-snatching Rock opened?”
“Don’t be complacent so soon. Don’t forget that he takes the initiative. He already possesses two Tribulation Takers!”
“They are just two fakes!”
“We’ll see the truth in the Treasure-snatching Rock!”
“Agreed. Haha, let’s see who will have the last laugh!”
In the space of the Treasure-snatching Rock!
After the sound of the bell tore apart the formidable willpower, Zhou Bao felt that a heavy load had been removed from his body.
However, he was not relieved.
“What on earth is this power? Is it the power of a Celestial Immortal? Yes, a Celestial Immortal! Only a Celestial Immortal can possess such horrific willpower! Nevertheless, why did it land here? Could it be that the Celestial Immortal discovered the Treasure-snatching Rock as well? If so, why didn’t he snatch it? Wait, he did intend to wrest it, but he was unable to do so. The Treasure-snatching Rock is the king of Heavenly Fairy Weapons, so it must have a device spirit whose power probably is not inferior to that of a Celestial Immortal. Perhaps…”
Just as he was pondering the question, a colorful ray dropped from the sky and hit that crack firmly.
